A receipt of paid National-fishingfee must be presented to the card seller when purchasing local fishing license and disinfection.

All fishing equipment including boots, waders, canoes, boats or other equipment used as a part of the fishing (attached to water) must be disinfected before use. Disinfection certificate from other rivers is not valid!

Movable fishing based on rotation is required (Downstream).

Both killed, released fish or "no-catch" must be registered and reported at your fishing license within 1 day after the fishing stops.

All salmons above 65 cm (and sea-trouts above 60 cm) that is killed due to injuries, must immediately be reported to the license seller by SMS, phone or physical meeting. The fish must physical be present­ed the landowner or fishing license seller.

Shell samples from all killed fish (including farmed fish) must be put into specially designed envelopes and delivered to the landowner or license seller at the end of fishing.

All fish must be treated as gently as possible into the water to avoid mortality, when practicing catch and release. Suitable pliers must be used when removing the hook as well as knotless net when landing the fish. One tip on how to measure the length of the fish is to add a mark on your rod at 65 cm. Signifi­cant violations of the fishing rules must be reported to the license seller or salmon office at Storjord.
